Hello all I have a 2008 M5040 and would love to boost my hydraulics just a bit to pick up another 200 lbs of weight. I mean I am picking up what I need now but its a little shaky and slow and only gets my load about 2ft off the ground and I really need 4ft. I understand there is a way to adjust...

Hello all Thank you for your patience first off. lol On the back end of my M5040 I have two quick disconnects. Now these are not the 4 or 6 pack setup, just the main implement piston out or retract. So I unscrewed one of mine to get a set of lines made up that would plug into these two female...

Hi all I have a M5040 with a LA1153 loader. My question is that over the past couple months I would swear that the hydraulics are slowing down. I know this sounds dumb but...I have full tip forward and down pressure speed but I would swear she used to tip back and raise up faster. Has anyone...

Hello all I have the Grand Ultra Cab on my M5040 and my son gave me his old car stereo to put in her. (old in his standards, like two years in mine) My question is.......my local dealership says the wiring plug I see behind the pop out panel is made to fit "thier" supplied (when purchased)...

Hello all I have a 5 gallon bucket of Kubota Universal Hydraulic fluid that has 4 1/2 gallons in it. Now its 5 years old, has been in a building out of the sun and still capped for the past 5 years. I used it to top off an older tractor and put it away and forgot it like most everything...
